If you are a fan of 'Pizza Pockets' then you will be familiar with the concept of the calzone. Essentially it is pizza dough stuffed with cheese, meats and tomato sauce, folded into a half moon shape and baked till golden brown. Surprisingly they're really easy and quick to make and can be personalized to include your favourite flavours. Ours was filled with sausage, bacon, caramelized onion, mushrooms and mozzarella cheese is a great hand held meal for watching the game!
Next day cold calzone- even better! |

I was always envious because this was a dish we never really ordered when we were kids. Maybe it was because it isn't really an authentic Chinese dish or maybe because my parents didn't want their clothes smelling like black pepper beef the next day, but here is a recipe that reproduces the same flavours and aromas in the comfort of your own home.
